When There’s No More Room at the Con, Dead Nerds Will Roam the Earth
You’re not scared of zombies. You’ve seen them a million times. Slow zombies. Fast zombies. Zombies are played out. OR SO YOU THOUGHT. Because now, the ultimate zombie horror has been created — zombie nerds. Not only do they want to eat your brains, but they’re going to bitch about how unauthentic their zombie-ness is while they do it. Infinite thanks to Cal H. for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
